hurricane sandy and the drought that gripped so much of the country. back in 2011 we had 14 billion dollar weather events. usually we have four to six. this one is an interesting stat. we haven't had a tornado death in 194 days in this country. if we can make it three more days without a tornado death it will be the longest stretch ever recorded without a tornado fatality and this year was the fewest tornadoes since '89. although we had those billion dollar events and disasters we didn't have as many tornadoes as normal. now as far as what we're dealing with as far as the weather pattern very quiet in the west, very cold in many areas of the interior west. the pattern will change a little bit. we have a cut off flow that will move offshore saturday into california. plan on a dry day today san francisco up the coast. saturday upper level low will come with clouds and showers. prepare for that but no prothe through central california, chance of showers every where else sunday. details on that little approaching storm in your weekend forecast coming up. >
